Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir until well blended.

      Add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, mixing until smooth and creamy.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                  Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy your deliciously fudgy Banana Bread Brownies!
